I was under the impression that when they were introduced, the mentioned that they looked up to Natsu when they were little kids. If that was the case, then they should be around Natsu's age right now. Hence, if we take 14 years away, they would be extremely young kids or even babies, which would be a little difficult to train as Dragon Slayers by the Dragons. Then again, the other evidence given is that they have Exceeds with them, which Dragon Slayers usually have.

Well, if they are truly Dragon Slayers, then it means that they'll eventually end up as Fairy Tail members. Fairy Tail seems to have a monopoly on Dragon Slayers.

Depends if they're true dragon slayers or just "fake" ones like Cobra who had a lacrima with dragon magic implated into him.

i don't think fake is a proper word, it's the second generation of dragon slayers those are Cobra and Laxus, and yeah even i think that the sabertooth dragon slayers are also second generation dragon slayers, uhh........, what was their name again??

Well, it looks like instead of two chapters, they've adapted one-and-a-half chapters! It also seems they're going to be extending the rest of the chapter to fit a single episode.

Also, they've added Keiji Fujiwara to the cast as Mato, the man in the pumpkin costume. Hooray for famous people! (Though it does kinda shoot down my theory that Mato is actually former Phantom Lord member Jose).

But seriously, the wait for the rest of the voice cast for new characters is killing me!

A couple things about this episode stands out. First off, it seems like for all the previous years, the tournament games were specifically played out in order for Fairy Tail to lose. It was almost if the rules were aimed to make Fairy Tail bad, like how they mentioned the games were played in ways when the best player in Fairy Tail for each type of game did not participate.

So it was no coincidence that now that they need to race to the sky, the Sky Dragon Slayer, Wendy, is not available to participate. I guess that explains why Elfman is going to be part of the team.

Also, there seems to be more teams in the tournament than there are guilds. That in itself explains why we see Fairy Tail team S in the intro, with Gajeel, Mirajane, Juvia, Laxus, and Mystogan. However, are they truly Fairy Tail members, or are they some sort of magical clones? The biggest factor to think the later is that they are probably going to compete against Fairy Tail and not represent them, and that Mystogan is with them, when he should be in another world.

As for the 2 new 3rd generation Dragon Slayers, since they've killed their parents, they will probably not end up joining Fairy Tail. Meaning, they don't add to the search for the dragon parts of the story so they are not needed. Go ahead and wipe them out, Natsu.

Or it could just be very bad luck.

The object is not to race to the sky. The object is to race through the labyrinth to the tournament arena, and the first eight teams to do so win. There are paths leading directly into the labyrinth, and all they have to do is run up them. The labyrinth just so happens to be floating.

Why do I get Yu Yu Hakusho vibes from this episode?.........Anyway, Erza is HOT as always. Those two (undeservedly)arrogant jerks turn out to be........jerks Someone other than the usual "main" cast gets to be in spotlight - Well done Elfman.

Elfman had his appearance changed significantly.
Guess all of them trained really hard!
Natsu, Gray, Erza, Lucy and Wendy got picked to participate.
It's time they bring their reputation back.
Exploring the town was not a really good idea, especially when they ran into Sabertooth guys.
Looks like those guys are gonna be a serious problem.
Sky Labyrinth looks like quite a challenge...

I'm almost surprised that Natsu didn't go after those guys right then and there. Forget saving it for the Games. But I suppose it wouldn't go so well and taking on these guys right now. A fight being saved for further into this arc. I almost want that crazy dragon Acnologia to show up just to put those idiots into their place. They can talk about first generation or third generations, but in the end they are probably going to get beaten by Natsu and Gajeel.

As predicted, the usual characters got picked to represent fairy tail.
I feel so sorry for Erza. Stupid Ichiya ruined her fantasy.
Now that the games have begun, will fairy tail make it past the first round? Have their powers increased? Stay tuned.....

Sting and Rogue are very cocky, but this is a series where the cocky get put in their place eventually, so I'm sure they will. Rogue is okay, but i'm really interested in Sting. It could be his voice actor.
